Here is an item that appeared In
"The Republican," of Wenatche, the
well known fruit growing section
of Washington slate and it haa called
forth a long and loud protest from the
Medford Mail: "H. A. Chapin re-

Medford and Hood River countries.
He Is better satisfied now than ever
with this valley. He sa'.a that, a
great many of the roads leading out
of Medford are impassible now on ac
count of the mud and are in that con
dition six mouths in the year. As far
as the fruit condition is concerned he
ays that they raise fins fruit there
but the yield from a five aore orcnara

country. Mr. Cbapin put in a rew

pressed it, 'I would ;not .live tnere

"Say, Mister Editor, do you realize
that there are a great many new or

in which one obierving citizen ac
costed the newsgatherer as he was
weoding bis wsy hither and thither
in quest of news items. , "Yes, there
are, many new orchards being started
this year. I did not begin to imagine
on what a large scsle this work was
being done ontil I learned that one
small store out in Williams Creek dis
trict had alons ordered no less than
seven grabbing machine outfits for
parties thereabouts and that is bot a
sample of what is going on all over
this big oonnty. So I ssy, we may
eipeot great things from this growing
industry in the not very distant
future."

W. R. C. MEETING
. Th second monthly meeting of the
Woman's Relief Corp waa held in
their room at M. W. O. W. hall on
Frcnt street, February 33.
A complete list of officers and a
large membership were present,
President Mrs. Goodnow in th
chair. The report of tb different
committees were moat satisfactory,
showing their united fforts to ad-
vance the purpose or our beloved
order. Two new memo re were in
stalled. The oorps ! a thrill of.
pardonable pride when Secretary
Mrs. Mary Hildretb announoed that
Gen. Logan No. 35, W. K. O. had
Been the first U respond to a request
from Department President Cora M.
Davis for a freewill offering to be
presented to the G. A. K. at flew-
port in June; the money to oe usee.
for National purposes, also me nisi
to respond to the Flag fund.
At the request of several of the
members, Mrs. Goodnow naa an ar
ticle read from a daily relating to the
new pension Dills oeiore vue nuuae.
Notably ar those introduced by
Chairman Sculloway of New Hamp
shire committee on invalid pensions ;
if ratified will increase the pension
roll nearly $12,000,000. The bill pro
vide for a pension of $13 a month
instead of $9 as at present to all wid
ows of veterans of the Civil war,
married prior to June 27, 1890. All
widows of veteran of the Mexican
and Indian and all widows of Spanish
war veteran who died of diseases
contracted in services.
Representative French of Idaho be
lieves ths government should deal
more' liberally with the boye who wore
the blue and their oorviving widows.
Mr. Preach would re adjust the scale
giving the "honorably discharged
soldier who servd 90 days or more"
a pension of $13 to th 63 year-old
veterana; increasing it W $15 when
they are 65 and to $30 when they ar
0 Mr. French proposes to equalize
th widows' pension to $12 per month
regardless of the cause of the soldier'
death. ,
Being the 32d of February, the
corps thought it a fitting time to cele
brate the H6tli anniversary of the
birth of George Washington, first
president of the United States. The
ball was beautifully decorated with
Old Glory "eves where in evidence.
The comrade of Gen. Logan Post No.
39, G A R and their wives had been
invited.' A program suitable and ap
propriate bad been prepared and
arranged by Patriotio Instructor,
Mrs. Mary F. Shrader, as followa :
Song "America"..., Post and Corps
Select Reading .Opal Shrader
Becitaiion Arluue Sweetland
Piano Solo Llia Caldwell
Recitation, song and flag drill by six

Kecittion Inez Howard

The program was one of beauty and
merit and was thoroughly enjoyed by
everyone present. President Mrs.
Goodnow then called on the Post for
an addriss. Comrade Alverson re
sponded with an eloquent and loyal
tribute to the memory of the late Col.
Thomas Lauler of Rockford, 111.,
who was widely know in G A R
circles as a Nstional aud Department
oommander, alto for many years as
commander of Merius Post No. 1 at
Rockford of which Mr. Alverson was
also a member In his Illinois home.
Mr Petersen said a couple of stran
gers had called at bis office cn a busi
ness errand and noticing he was
dressed In uniform asked an explana
tion. He informed them that he was
going to an entertainment given by
the Womans Relief Corps. They were
very much surprised that so large an
oiganitation shoold be remembered
aod celebrated in so small a place.
Too bad those incredulous strangers
coo Id not have had a glimpee of onr
beautifully decorated hall in memory
of the Immortal George Washington,
and the happy chatting, laughing
crowd within, they would bava been
favorably reminded that patriotism
and sociability are very large factors
io our progreisive little city.
At the close of the entertainment a
delicious lunch was served and a
pleasant social hour was passed. The
purple aud golden rays of a glorious
sunset were flooding the Rogue River
Valley when goodbye and goodnight
were exchanged, thus ending another
profitable and pleasant day in the
history cf the Womans Relief Corps.
